Selecting Indvidiual Custom Labels in Eclipse Force.com IDE

Unfortunately the Force.com IDE does not yet support individual custom label selection even though the UI does. There is a bug/issue filled so please upvote it at this link Selection of individual `CustomLabels` not working There is a workaround however.

One must manually update the `package.xml` and specify the metadata member `CustomLabel` (no s at the end) and the individual labels like so. Also ensure you don't have the labels node selected through the Eclipse Force.com IDE UI, that is there should not be an entry in your `package.xml` for member `CustomLabels`. One annoying caveat of this is to edit `CustomeLabels.labels` you must be in offline ('Right click root project > Force.com > Work Offline') mode otherwise it get's still refreshed from the server.

This is rather difficult to track down especially if you are unfamiliar with the code, I am sharing my procedure in the hopes this saves you time - if you find this helpful drop me a line or follow me on twitter @danielsokolows. This error is caused by unique field constraint on the object, so the first step is to examine the object and locate the API names of all unique fieds. You can do this through SF direclty 'Setup < Customize &lt <object being inserted> &lt Fields' or by downloading the `src/objects` metadata information and searching for <unique>; I preffer the latter and actually download ALL matadata information f…
